When I spoke to my dr in January about losing weight when I started this journey he advised me to take a multi vitamin daily just in case I was not getting all the vitamins from my food, as food looses some during the cooking process.

You look fantastic, keep up the great work.

That is fantastic and congratulations on your hard work.

If I did that I would be needing my bed straight away after lol :laugh:

Welcom back, I am sure you will be fine.

Well done and congratulations, keep up the good work now you have started

My 13 yr old daughter will not drink plain water she would rather go all day without drinking at school then drink it. So to up her water content I have stopped buying squash and cola and only buy flavoured water. She is gradually starting to drink more, I know it works out expensive buying it but it may help her get…

I have to admit that on the recommendation of my dr I have been having my allocated calories but split them between three meals and as he is a fitness freak running marathons etc, I have listened to him. He told me not to get too tied in with Carbs/Fat/Protein just make sure that I eat my 1500 calories a day and exercise…

I had the same problem last year and the only thing that I found helped me to stop the muscle spasms so I could exercise again without taking meds was going to the physio every two weeks for 3 months. The stretching exercises that they gave me to help loosen up the spine and stretch out the muscles causing the spasms…

Hello and welcome to MFP, we are all here to help and support each other on our journey. Good luck, I am sure you will do just fine. :smile:

Try not to stress too much about it. In June/July I lost a pound then put on the pound it was like this for 8 solid weeks. I just upped my calories a little and made sure I drank 2ltr of water a day and then in August I started losing again. I think it happens so that the body can balance out the changes (that's what I…

Hi I have lost 31lb and I have got rid of anything that even with a belt looks too big or baggy and looks stupid on me. Anything that I can get away with wearing using a belt that does not look too bad I keep. I usually ask my hubby when I put something on if it looks right or not. At the moment as I am based i the UK I am…

I am not the most patient person when it comes to losing the weight but what I do that helps me keep on track is although I weigh myself each Saturday morning on the last day of the month I take all my measurements (Neck, Waist, Hips, L Thigh, R Thigh, L Biscep and R Biscep) so even if I have not seen much scale action and…

I tend to have 1500 for the day, 200 for breakfast for my oats and milk, for lunch 250 for my salad and apple and then I have the rest on an evening for a family meal. As I want to teach my girls that you can eat healthily and not starve yourself. I feel that it is important that we all sit down for the evening meal and…

Thanks, will look into those exercises especially if I can do them lying on the bed or sat down, appreciate your input.

I am sorry to hear that your dr was no help, can you see another dr at your practice for a second opinion? My dr has been really helpful when I saw him about wanting to loose weight in January, I went back in June to say that I had hit a 8 week plateu and was concerned that I was tired and not loosing weight so he ordered…

It happened to me too but just keep eating healthy and drink lots of water and it soon goes, after my second month mine all dissapeared.

The motivation that I have is that my hubby's brother is getting married May 2012 and I do not want to be the fat person in the photo. Plus as my hubby is best man I want to look my best for him.

I am in Bristol, went to Seaton in Devon for the weekend and have to say I did turn by back on a cream tea and my hubby even offered to pay for it as a treat.

Thanks, nmartin88 nice to know its not just me. Was thinking that at 38 the ole body is packing up on me lol. Since I hurt it the first time been wearing sneakers that my Dr recommended buying and covered shoes. But at the moment I am finding that I can't keep my shoes on as it is hurting the foot too much, am sat at my…

For my husband I put two slices of pepperoni and and some sliced mushroom onto a cooked pork loin piece and I also melt a little reduced fat cheese on top and my hubby loves this.

When I spoke to my Dr back in January about losing the 3st 13lb I want/need to get rid of, he advised me not to go below 1500 calories a day, and exercise regulary. I have been doing this and my weight loss has varied from 1 lb a week up to 3lb a week depending on how much exercise I do.

Make sure you are drinking enough water, I know from myself if I do not drink enough water no matter how hard I exercise and stick to the calories I will not loose any weight. I upped my water intake to 8 glasses a day and have lost consistently since.

I have 4 of Davina's DVDs and they are great, you certainly know it the next day.

Thanks am in the UK will pop into M&S and have a look.

Thank you all I will give them all a try.

Have done, how are we supposed to make healthy choices if we do not know what is high in calories or not.

Thank you, it was just bubbling up in me and I needed to release.

Way to go keep of the good work.

Thanks guys
